sorry this is kind of a newbie question but i really wanted to know if i can put 19s on my e60 non m5 ever since i got the e60 aerodynamic kit on my stock 18 inch rims look small LOL
a guy in a local rim shop said i can go up to 20 with no problems but im not really sure will bigger rims damage my suspension or something
i would really like to buy the 08 550i rims i currentley have 18" star spoke 123

ride will be almost the same. If you do decide to go with 19", look into getting the 245/40 for front and 275/35 for rear and you're set to go. No rubbing issue at all and have a bit more protection for the rim. My current 19" offset is similar to the OEM 172.
